Recent Developments in the Experimental Nuclear Reaction Data Library EXFOR
Description
The International Network of Nuclear Reaction Data Centres (NRDC)
provides nuclear reaction data services to users through collection and compilation of
experimental nuclear reaction data in the EXFOR database. The database includes
neutron-induced, charged-particle-induced, and photonuclear data for projectile energies
up to 1 GeV. Sophisticated search options and user-friendly retrieval interface for
downloading data in different formats have been developed at IAEA Nuclear Data
Section. Additional output options such as data plotting capabilities are provided as well. The database is constantly revised and extended and at present contains about 20,000 experimental works accumulated in its 40 years of history. The paper will present several recent IAEA NDS activities related to the development of the EXFOR database and retrieval system.
